residential's expedition was, of course, also a political task to increase russia's influence in central asia, including in china , mongolia and tibet. russia needed predictable and benevolent neighbors. after all, this is the time. we are already an annexed territory. in russian turkestan , grandiose construction was unfolding from 1867 to 1882. russia is investing almost 200 million rubles in the region. an incredible amount for those times had to build infrastructure.

scobili phil immediately he led immediately become a telegraph they did not understand some kind of poles with some kind of wires, so it was ordered that for something stop he cut down that camels killed, that a person would be cut off. they understand that this is some kind of mystical structure. yes, let it be worth opening hospitals, russian native schools, that's why they were called. and what about local residents. here will teach children education was precisely with european education. and one

of the tasks that was officially included is the inclusion of all of central asia in the trade turnover of the russian empire, the main industry capitalist, it was the production, in fact, of paper fabrics, and for this , cotton was needed, they were mainly transported from the usa, but russia provided its entire military industry in general. almost all the lands of russian turkestan suitable for cultivation are occupied and, fearing the discontent of the indigenous population, russia at the beginning forbids or restricts the resettlement of ethnic russians in central asia, but in 1873 kaufman

signs the general plan for peasant colonization for the entire governor-general, which takes into account the interests of both the indigenous population and settlers and the russian administration of the russian empire. nevertheless, she decided to allow those who wish to move to the turkestan region. tens of thousands of people moved here, and it was not only russians who moved, for example, germans, protestant colonists from the volga region and the black sea region away from the vigilant eye of the imperial authorities, kazan and siberian tatar merchants moved, mastering new ones that are still little studied, but most of the settlers practically 90% were peasants from central russia and their little russia. so they appeared along the main roads of the turkestan region countless petropavlovsky pokrovka new pokrovka swan and apples.

fled to turkestan under the auspices of the russian tsar and persecuted in china, the uyghur muslims of dungan, they also called their villages alexandrovka in honor of alexander ii, and russian settlements were located along large rivers and postal routes from orenburg to tashkent through the right one to semipalatinsk to ensure the safety of transport routes connecting russia from turkestan. l he will say the land in which it is not a shame to lie russian bones, the local population quickly

realized that we were not going to take anything from them and were not going to destroy anyone. we want to join them and therefore the opportunity. oh my god, the central asian russian policy, it was undoubtedly more successful than uh, the policy of the british in india created such a bad background for the british from time to time, and the envoys of the indian rotations who asked were called russians. in russia

, sometimes their underground delegations come to the white tsar, there is a reed there under the clothes under the lining. the dressing gown was hidden away, because the fear of the transition of british intelligence, and the invasion of india was still sorted out, where where where and which regiments along which passes, and so on and so forth. that is, it was full of carefully worked out plans. konstantin wrote undoubtedly that england is an enemy of russia and is not vulnerable anywhere, except in russia it is a bridle that we can always restrain england, ready to harm us everywhere, which she already showed in the crimean campaign. prime minister benjamin disrael in september 1876

, the prospect of war with russia is very exciting. if that happens, it's better now than later in this part of the world. we are twice as strong as russia and have much better offensive and defensive bases around the northern borders. india can pour a fiery sea. inciting the khanate to rise up against their russian masters, a supporter of a vigorous anti-russian policy. he sharply criticizes his predecessors for what he calls a show of weakness in the face of the russian threat to india, all alleged threats. india on the part of russia is the result of the fact that the generals used cards with too much on a small scale it seems that russian central asia

is very close. you can see that one is in the hundreds or the other, that there are no railways between them, that they are separated by several mountain ranges and three huge deserts, most generals do not have much time. they spend a lot more time arguing about money and demanding government money from this point of view, to justify britain the threat from russia should have taken place in order to annex it to the russian empire did not exist plans to stumble the british into the place where the british empire could crumble. so don't bother us. in 1871, an event occurred

fighter fyodor tyutchev wrote a poem on this occasion, dedicated to the minister of foreign affairs of the russian empire alexander gorchakov. yes, they kept your word, without moving the gun, not a single ruble comes into its own again, the native russian land. and to us, the bequeathed sea is again a free wave, and in a short forgetting shame creeps its native shore, since

now the straits and the mediterranean sea. again turned out to be in the zone of influence of the russian conflict between the inhabitants of the western part of the russian continent access to the mediterranean sea. it is clear that this idea with the strait poisoned relations between west and east throughout the 19th century. in 1876, an anti-turkish uprising began in the balkans. in response, the ottomans arrange fierce people hacked to death with sabers 12,000 bulgarian christians. in britain

, the massacre is not condemned by israel; christians react harshly russia declares war on turkey. russian troops to constantinople through the regiments if you got constantinople you can count on dominance in the balkans, if you dominate the balkans, then you are a direct strategic threat to central europe 1877 british foreign secretary lord derby summoned the russian ambassador count peter shuvalov handed shuvalov a note , in which, to avoid misunderstanding, it was explained that if the hostilities suddenly affected places such as bosformer danella, constantinople persian

gulf soviet canal or egypt, then this will entail an immediate termination of english neutrality, since tomorrow there is no english interests great britain will enter the war on the side of the ottoman empire, of course. at the same time, lord derby demanded an early positive response to his note in order to calm public opinion in the country. yes, the historian eduard aghastas freeman said that if we support the ottoman empire only because of india, then we need to abandon india, he said this at a lecture. and when it came time to appoint a professor at oxford

, queen victoria objected to the appointment of a man who said that india should be abandoned. . they will always hate us. and we can never trust them. 1878, the russian army rises, if destined, after the russian troops began to move towards constantinople, the british fleet appeared russian british war. in the ports of england, they begin to put together a so-called special squadron to attack the mole, but here

it turns out that russia's presence in asia, in serious opposition to british policy in europe, the troops of the turkestan military district were brought into combat, readiness was concentrated at certain points. and a trip to the shores would have already been developed. and yes, and at that moment sends e to kobul, soviet. i have several hundred guns of gunpowder, russian officers could become instructors. in the event of a war with england, russian troops were to enter afghanistan and maintain peace at the last moment, the campaign was canceled because they managed to agree at the berlin congress in the summer of 1878. russia is left with virtually nothing , the tsar, under strong pressure, agrees to withdraw his troops. in exchange for some territorial gains, the sultan regains 2/3 of the territories lost in this war.

meanwhile, the box arrives, and the mission of general stoletov, not recalled by kaufman , the british are furious and refuse to receive the british envoys. wherein secretly meet with the russians. well, the afghans were very close to india. they saw what was going on in india, they didn't want it. that's why they didn't trust england and that's why they turned their eyes to st. petersburg. london gives the afghan world sherali an ultimatum to accept

the british embassy. otherwise , the british threatened military action against afghanistan by the time the ultimatum expired, no response from sherali had been received by british troops being advanced. similarities and differences goodbye similarities lies in the losses we bear in the suffering of the afghan people, the difference lies in the fact that the us and nato took up arms after the tragedy of september 11 and by the decision of the un security council to acquire the characteristics of an occupation that

brought suffering to the afghan people, we are trying to fix it as we tried it to do in the last few years then in 1878 the british army seizes help impotence to think that all the difficulties that still exist in our affairs in europe and all of them allowed here. minister of war milyutin answers sovereign emperor he will not allow the occasion for a crippling break with england

to be raised from our side. a clash with this power in asia would be a signal of a general and stubborn war under circumstances and circumstances extremely unfavorable for us. konstantin kaufman is forced to refuse to help the world, offering him the armistice concluded by the british as an officer, he is very hard going through a broken word , the governor general has a stroke. sherali flees from kabul and soon the man dies the world they promised and the world expected it. russia is more precise than the ussr in the geopolitical struggle for afghanistan

british troops triumphantly enter kabul , the afghans agree to all conditions, then violate the agreement once again kill the british mission and get involved in bloody battles. in one of the battles primaida the british suffer a crushing defeat. afghanistan, putting on the throne of kabul, loyal to himself where

did they come from? his grandfather had such a gun to be measured. while the british fought in afghanistan, the troops of general kobelev in fierce battles. it was possible to break the resistance of the turkmens. russia completely annexed central asia the talented and fearless commander , the liberator of the balkans, mikhail skobelev became the hero of the central asian company on june 24

, 1912, a monument was solemnly opened in his honor on tverskaya square in moscow. the monument was demolished immediately after the october revolution in a personal letter to the british ambassador, lord duffin , tsar alexander reported that he had given a decree on the final cessation of expansion, but the arguments of the russians london clearly did not convince on the southern borders of russia clashes begin with afghans. for all actions. kabul stands in 1885. she accuses st. petersburg of attacking peaceful afghanistan, the english government receives a loan for the war with russia 11 million pounds, the largest amount since the crimean war, the troops and fleet of britain in a state of combat readiness.

as a result, in london they calculated how the war with russia would turn out and decided to negotiate by prior agreement. uh, afghanistan was supposed to stay neutral, but in order to keep the economy, which has already become to develop central asia, we made quite big concessions and we agreed that afghanistan would become a zone of british interests

. the british gave money and weapons to create a new afghan state as a satellite state of british india and to resist russian boxingism and influence. so to a large extent modern afghanistan was created by an afghan ruler, but nonetheless want messengers don't like to admit it. it was he who was created with the help of money and weapons of the british.

the great game ended in 1907 when the british empire and the russian empire agreed to end the differences in central asia by that time germany was already beginning to get on its feet in the early 20th century and an external enemy appeared, a potential ally in the struggle for a position on the continent, more precisely, like a steamroller, which, on occasion , would crush the german war machine. at the same time , in 1917, as soon as the russian empire forbade the british at the seams and collapsed. again they tried to take control over the crimea , the russian black sea coast, the south caucasus, the caspian region and central asia

by the way, the basmatic movement of central asia was largely controlled and even financed by vetka, the implementation of british plans in the southern direction was prevented only by the confident actions of the bolsheviks to establish soviet power in all the territories of the former russian empire ; today, rivalry with russia in the 19th century outweighs the fact that russia was ally of britain in the first and second world wars, the reason is that for 40 years after 1945, russia , the soviet union was almost an enemy rival in the cold war. this reaffirmed all stereotypes of the big game. in this case, the big game still matters to britain's brits. we were at war with the british. we were at war with the soviet union. who are these countries now? now they are friends of afghanistan

, the americans and the chinese are participating in the new big game. russian indians of iran pakistan is also part of this game. that no stan is also taking part in the game we are trying to maximize our interests and the players of the big game are trying maximize your interests. let's see who gets more. and who is less, well, the idea of ​​weakening russia as a state has never died. they have always lived, live and will live as long as russia exists as a state, because russia is unconditional. call. great power is not a shiny tinsel national dress that can be kept in a chest and put on some kind of holiday. this is a huge responsibility for this territory, which is involved in the russian historical orbit for these people, who, well, were involved, who saved us fidelity in russia - it lay the balance

between civilizations. by staggering, all the more so by renunciation let for a while from their geopolitical mission to be holders , too, slowly provokes huge movements in the world. whether there was a winner in that big game between russia and britain, i think that it is still not, firstly, because the results of this game have already been cardinally revised more than once, and secondly, because the game is still going on.

we'll take care of this. it will be the honest detective. always wondering why starts. now everyone will see the producers of good things want and most importantly.

over the past day, russian troops inflicted a high-impact defeat in several directions at once, according to the ministry of defense, according to the military military department. the losses of the enemy amount to hundreds of people and dozens of pieces of equipment, a tense situation is developing on the line of the matchmaker, a criminal one. here is what our war correspondent evgeny reports. a similar complex situation is rather complicated, but the initiative. now on the side of the grouping of russian forces and funds that operate on the line of criminal light green. let's talk about everything in order of the landing unit.
